Markdown Workshop Pages

Most of our workshop pages are written in Markdown (like this wiki). Following the template structure shown below. It's fairly easiest way to to create your file directly in the github website interface. Going to the workshops folder and then clicking on the Create New File Button to the top right. Remember to use the file extension ".md"

Tip:You can look at other workshop pages in raw view to get some ideas.

# Workshop Title

--------

**Wifi SSID**: `workshop`

Some sample software you'll need to install:

- **Windows**: [Git for Windows](https://git-for-windows.github.io/)
- **Mac and Linux**: You're already set

---------

Here's how you include links to files:

1. [demographics.csv](/lrn2compute/workshops/data/demographics.csv)
2. [volumes.csv](/lrn2compute/workshops/data/volumes.csv)
3. [SES_data.csv](http://www.hamclubs.info/lists/SES_data.csv)

And here's how you include a block of code: 

{% highlight r %}
this = is.r.code()
if like(you,r) {
   i.exit()
}
{% endhighlight %}

But if you want python: 

{% highlight python %}
try: 
   to_learn(python)
finally: 
   something(decent)
{% endhighlight %}

Link your new workshop page to the website

To link your new workshop page to the front page of the website. Do to the _posts/ and edit the details.md file.

Note: add the link to your .md file **without the extension

For example: the link to the "spreadsheets.md" workshop page is printed below

<a href="#workshop-schedule-and-registration">Register</a> | <a href="{{site.root}}/workshops/spreadsheets">Webpage</a>

Also, once you add the link. It might take up to an hour for the page content to update.
